A lot of people are seeking heaven, in fact, for years the church has taught that salvation/christianity is all about heaven, but is it?  Isn't seeking heaven a prideful, self centered quest whereas seeking God and our relationship with Him is an outward, pleasing aroma to God act in which we put God above ourselves...you know, Love Him instead of loving ourselves?  Why or why not?

Yes, I agree and we are are also told to keep our minds on things above; heavenly things. It's not that I "seek" heaven but I consider it a gift or a reward for persevering and keeping the faith. Yet too much time thinking about oneself and the glory of heaven is not good either. I used to think of heaven and think of the way it would be, my way how I liked it. Now I just think of worshiping God and praising Him, being in His presence for eternity.
